And, this huge range of over 250 usable items served as a great starting point for the wackiness of the series, absurdity that evolved into being able to combine weapons together in Dead Rising 2 onwards, to make some truly ridiculous tools. You could use a massive range of items and tools, some of which were incredibly effective, for example chainsaws, whereas others could be the polar opposite, i.e. One of the areas that really elevated Dead Rising's enjoyability was in its weapon choices. But Dead Rising was one of the first main line video games that took zombies, placed them in an open world, and combined it with enough arcade tropes that it never felt frightening or overwhelming - because it was simply. Hell, Resident Evil was already in its fourth game at this point and we'd all seen arcade machines like House of Dead at every place you can loosely dub an 'entertainment venue'. It never quite delivered on the fast-paced nature of Left 4 Dead and didn't quite have the scale of say, Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare, but it also never failed to disappoint in its levels of excitement and engagement - and being a forerunner of this design, it helped sculpt others that came after it.Д«eing stacked up against hordes of zombies with the expectation of surviving by literally gunning or slashing your way to safety was hardly revolutionary. When it debuted back in 2006, it felt wild, crammed with possibility, and fresh, and was the sort of game you could spend hours relentlessly chewing through waves of the undead.

The reason this is important is because Dead Rising was one of the earliest, big name examples of a zombie-slaying open world that gave players the options to conduct themselves as they saw fit. It wasn't the greatest design for a narrative plot to shine through, but Dead Rising made up for that with an absurdly fun sandbox, overflowing with weapons and tools ideal for blitzing through masses of zombies.

This style opened up plenty of free avenues in how someone could experience the world, but also ensured that there was a storyline to follow to some degree. Set in a mall, the ultimate playground location for a sandbox zombie-killing game, Dead Rising used an in-game time system to define how long players had in a single playthrough.
